Dominic Green’s game-winner was nice, but UW’s Mike Hopkins raved about his defense

Hopkins says UW three-point specialist Green is "one of the best shooters in the country."

To hear Mike Hopkins say it, he expected Dominic Green to nail a game-winning three-pointer from 22 feet away to beat No. 9 Arizona 78-75 as time expired last Saturday.

Green is a good perimeter shooter, who Hopkins noted is ranked 52nd in the nation in three-point shooting percentage.

What impressed the defensive-minded Washington men’s basketball coach, was Green’s effort on the defensive end against Arizona’s front line that includes two 7-footers.

“He’s got an unbelievable skill,” Hopkins said about Green’s game-winner.
